Notes
Satina noted that this concert, held under the auspices of the Ladies’ Committee for Prisoner Welfare, was the first performance of Rachmaninoff’s Sonata for piano and cello, op. 19. As Apetian's note to letter 191 in Literaturnoye nasledie indicates (vol. 1, p. 566), it appears Rachmaninoff continued to work on the sonata, the completion date on the manuscript being December 12. Keldysh (p. 172) noted Ysaÿe's performance of the Vieuxtemps concerto, citing a review that indicated Rachmaninoff's accompaniment 'exceptionally compensated' for the absence of an orchestra. The review appears to be from Moskovskiye Vedomosti on December 4, which suggests that a Romance by Beethoven was also performed by Ysaÿe and Rachmaninoff. The order of the program is unknown.
